Born in 1999,

Frederique Constant’s Highlife collection was relaunched in 2020.

And the addition of the chronograph to this flagship collection

was

highly anticipated.

It is a complication whose implementation requires greater technical expertise,

as well as being probably the most used.

Frederique Constant offers three different versions of the Highlife Chronograph Automatic

which feature the same 41 mm case made of stainless steel with alternating polished

and satin brushed finishes on the middle case,

profile and bezel.

Two buttons

are

also introduced,

at 2 and 4 o’clock, which trigger the start, stop and reset of the chronograph.

Their profile

has also been slightly inclined

by a few degrees to ensure

that they can integrate with the profile of the case.

Each version is equipped with a compax chronograph,

with the small seconds at 9 o’clock,

the 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and the 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock,

which contrasts with the signature of the Maison “Frédérique Constant,

Genève” at o’clock. 12.watch

Three hand-polished central hands complete the ensemble

: two luminescent hands for

hours and minutes and the central chronograph seconds hand.

Each model is

also equipped with a second complication useful

in everyday life

: the date, discreetly positioned in a window between 4 and 5 o’clock.

Its dial always features the engraving of the Earth in the center,

a symbol of its cosmopolitan character. The chronograph counters,

on the other hand, have an inward curved flange,

offering a direct and more precise reading of the chronograph indications.

The refined graduation of the flange,

on the other hand,

makes it possible to read the fifth of a second. As for the caseback,

the case is equipped with a sapphire crystal

that allows you to admire the FC-391 automatic movement

and its chronograph module,

in particular the column wheel located at 3 o’clock,

which the more expert connoisseurs will identify without difficulty.

Developed in collaboration with the La Joux-Perret Manufacture,

this caliber sports not only a remarkable modern construction,

but also finishes and quality of a high standard. Furthermore,

for each of these new references,

Frederique Constant has conceived an oscillating weight

in rose gold plated with Côtes de Genève

: a decoration dear to Frederique Constant because

it is located in Geneva.

This rotor allows you to wind the automatic movement,

cadenced at a frequency of 28 800 vibrations / hour,

which guarantees 60 hours of power reserve.replica hublot

Each piece has the “Highlife Chronograph” engraving

and water resistance is guaranteed up to 100 meters.

As I wrote at the beginning,

the new Highlife Chronograph Automatic comes in three decidedly

complementary versions.

The first, in steel,

is limited to 1888 pieces,

and is the only one

to be equipped with an additional strap

and bracelet.

It will thus be possible to alternate

between a navy blue calfskin strap

and completed with a nubuck finish,

a rubber strap of the same color

or a three-link bracelet in polished

and satin-finished steel.

Three different options that allow you to underline,

according to individual preferences, the white dial

or the counters and the blue flange of this rare model

of which each piece

will be individually numbered.

The second version is the only one to be two-tone,

alternating steel with plated rose gold

that decorates the central link of the bracelet,

the bezel, buttons, hands and indexes.

The delicate touches of rose gold

on the silver dial give this version charm

and dynamism,

showing the ability of the Highlife collection

to adapt to all contemporary lifestyles.

For a sportier look,

this edition will be complemented

by a brown rubber strap.

Finally, the third version plays the card of contrasts,

with a set of steel case and bracelet clearly recalled

by the black dial punctuated by steel indexes and hands.

The second black rubber strap underlines its sporty

and stealthy look even more.
